Full details
The Calibrite ColorChecker Video Mega is an essential tool for professional cinematographers and videographers who need precise color management at long distances or wide angles. By providing an extra-large 102 x 152cm reference surface, it ensures that your color calibration targets are easily captured without needing to adjust your camera's position or focal length; however, its massive physical footprint requires careful handling and significant storage space on set.

FAQs
Why is the target so large?
The 102 x 152cm size allows for accurate calibration in wide-angle shots or when the camera is placed at a considerable distance from the subject.
Can I use this for still photography?
While designed for video, the chromatic and grey reference chips can be used for general color management, though specialized photo targets may offer more specific patches for still workflows.
Do I need special software to use this?
It is compatible with any software that supports waveform and vectorscope analysis, including DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro.
How should I clean the surface?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid chemical cleaners or liquids as they can alter the accuracy of the color chips.
Is this target foldable?
Due to the construction of the reference surface, it is designed to be kept flat to ensure the integrity of the color patches.
Troubleshooting
Colors appear inconsistent in post-production
Ensure the target is evenly lit and not obscured by shadows or direct lens flares.
Difficulty mounting the large target
Use heavy-duty professional C-stands with appropriate clamps to secure the board against wind or accidental movement.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Large surface area makes it easy to film from a distance
- Reduces the need to compromise framing for technical calibration

Cons
- Substantial size makes it difficult to transport

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results, ensure the target is placed at the same angle as your subject so it receives the identical light source. The target works natively with industry-standard post-production software and is designed for use alongside video monitors featuring scopes. Care is vital: since the target surface is large and made of specific reference material, avoid touching the color chips with bare hands to prevent oil buildup. Store the target in a protected, climate-controlled case when not in use to prevent fading, warping, or surface scratches that could compromise the accuracy of your color references.
